I love Christmas ....

 it is one of my favorite holidays with Halloween being a close second.  I love to decorate for both.  But dam is it alot of work.  It takes me 3 or 4 days to decorate for Christmas and then another 2 to take it all down.  Yes I have that many decorations. lol My friend would say Christmas throw up in your house.  I can't help it I love Christmas.  lol  

But Christmas hasn't really been the same since the kids are older.  No fun Christmas morning when they know everything they are getting.  They are at the age that they are too hard to shop for.  So Christmas morning isn't' at the crack of dawn it is more closer to noon.  Not that I mind the sleeping in after being up late getting the gifts wrapped and under the tree Christmas Eve.  But it just isn't the same. 

Looking around the house now that everything is down, well all but the tree.  The house looks bare.  But I know in a few days I will be use to it and Christmas will be forgotten till next time. 

The house has been DeChristmisfied .......

Since there was a massive snow storm going on outside all day and night.   I took the time to take down all my Christmas decorations.  I usually wait till old Christmas day but what else was there to do then watch the snow coming down and listen to the wind.  I hate high winds.  So I jumped right in, clearing the house of Christmas.  I started after lunch, took a break for supper and finished by 9 that night.  Boy was I dead on my feet by then but the job was all done and all put away for another year.  It seems to take more time putting it all up, days in my case, but one long day to take it all down.   Some say I have to many decorations but I love Christmas.  Now all that is left is the New Year declutter and clean.  

Here's hoping for something new in the New Year......

I have high hope's for the new year.   I just hope I can accomplish something, anything to make my life more interesting, better then it has been.  Just seems like the days go by and nothing stands out.  I feel like I am living a life full of regrets or should have's.  Time to kick my butt in gear and live for myself not everyone else.  Wish me luck....

Happy New Year 2018 ........
